However, their biocompatibility for regenerating complex soft tissues remains insufficiently explored. Addressing this gap, we fabricated 3D-printed alginate-gelatin (3A5G) and nanocellulose-reinforced (3A5G1C) hydrogel  scaffolds with clinically relevant dimensions (15 mm diameter, 5 mm height) and the host tissue responses were critically analyzed. The distinct advantages of nanocellulose in modulating mechanical strength, viscoelasticity, swelling, and degradation characteristics were established in our prior studies. This investigation aimed to comprehensively evaluate the foreign body response of these scaffolds in a rat model. The animals exhibited healthy metabolic activity, evidenced by progressive weight gain, localized tissue healing, and normal mobility over 30 days. Histological analyses could not reveal any adverse immune reaction at 7- or 30-days, post-implantation. Hematological and serum biochemical assessments indicated a progression from acute (7 days) to sub-acute (30 days) inflammation, following subcutaneous implantation, without any signature of systemic toxicity. Immune marker evaluation (TNF-α, CD-8, CD-68, COX-2, IL-6) confirmed the absence of pathological immune responses, even with nanocellulose incorporation. Immunohistochemical analysis using CD31 staining demonstrated enhanced vascularization in nanocellulose-reinforced scaffolds at both 7 and 30 days. The absence of systemic toxicity from scaffold degradation products and the favorable biocompatibility outcomes underline the potential of these hydrogel scaffolds for soft tissue regeneration. The incorporation of nanocellulose further enhanced the scaffolds' functional performance, particularly in promoting vascularization, positioning them as promising candidates for complex tissue engineering applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":15138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomaterials Applications","volume":" ","pages":"192-217"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143772428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome this challenge, we have developed an innovative ROS-responsive injectable hydrogel. This hydrogel is designed to detect oxidative stress sensitively and release glutathione in a controlled manner, thereby modulating inflammation and restoring the damaged immune microenvironment to facilitate tissue repair. The hydrogel was synthesized by crosslinking polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with sodium alginate modified with 3-aminophenylboronic acid (Alg-PBA). We investigated the hydrogel's formation mechanism and analyzed how component variations affect its morphological and rheological properties. Our findings demonstrate that an optimal Alg-PBA to PVA weight ratio of 2:1 yields a hydrogel with superior mechanical strength. Glutathione (GSH) release studies confirmed the hydrogel's pronounced ROS-responsive drug release behavior. Furthermore, biocompatibility assessments revealed that the hydrogel loaded with 100 μg/mL GSH exhibited excellent compatibility and significantly inhibited neuronal apoptosis under oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) conditions.

Current treatments are limited, with autologous nerve grafts being the gold standard treatment for nerve injuries. However, autografting is not always successful and can lead to increased debilitation through donor site morbidity. Tissue engineering seeks to improve nerve injury treatment though the use of nerve conduits. Conduits made from a functional biomaterial can be implanted into a nerve injury site encouraging and controlling axonal regrowth without causing additional harm to the patient. Both silk fibroin (SF) and hyaluronic acid (HA) have been proven successful in the field of neural tissue engineering. SF has excellent mechanical properties and is biocompatible. HA is part of the extracellular matrix and had been used in nerve regeneration applications. This study developed aligned combination SF-HA nanofibers through electrospinning that could be used within a nerve conduit. Both materials were methacrylated to allow for photocrosslinking and additional control over material properties. Methcrylated SF-HA was tested alongside a material containing only methacrylated HA that has already proven to be effective in literature. When characterizing the materials, it was found that through chemical methacrylation HA was substituted at 60% while SF reported a 30% substitution. Electrospun SF-HA nanofibers were found to have a greater diameter than HA fibers; however, SF-HA was found to be more aligned with greater surface hydrophobicity. Mechanically, it was found that both materials exceeded the elastic modulus of native tissue, but SF-HA far exceeded HA in elasticity and overall fiber extension. Furthermore, human Schwann cells attached, proliferated, and released more pro-regenerative growth factors on SF-HA than HA.
